Almost all of these family names have Somerset County connections, and were
Amish or Mennonite prior to being Brethren.

May I ask how one can tell if the surname is Amish, Mennonite or Brethren?

I was able to go back another 4 generations on one of my main lines and have
come to NEWCOMER, which I have been led to believe is Swiss and Mennonite.
How can someone tell this by the surname.

Many Blessings,
Janet
